[Examples] [Installation] [Supported Tensor Products] [Citation and Acknowledgements]
OpeqnEquivariance is a kernel generator for the Clebsch-Gordon tensor product, a key kernel in rotation-equivariant deep neural networks. It implements some of the tensor products that e3nn supports that are commonly found in graph neural networks (e.g. Nequip or MACE).
We provide up to an order of magnitude acceleration over e3nn and up to ~2x speedup over NVIDIA cuEquivariance, which has a closed-source kernel package. We also offer fused equivariant graph convolutions that can reduce computation memory consumption significantly.
We currently support NVIDIA GPUs and offer a torch frontend. HIP support for AMD is planned!
Warning: This is an early release, bug reports are welcome.
Here's a CG tensor product implemented by e3nn:
import torch
import e3nn.o3 as o3
gen = torch.Generator(device='cuda')
batch_size = 1000
X_ir, Y_ir, Z_ir = o3.Irreps("1x2e"), o3.Irreps("1x3e"), o3.Irreps("1x2e")
X = torch.rand(batch_size, X_ir.dim, device='cuda', generator=gen)
Y = torch.rand(batch_size, Y_ir.dim, device='cuda', generator=gen)
instructions=[(0, 0, 0, "uvu", True)]
tp_e3nn = o3.TensorProduct(X_ir, Y_ir, Z_ir, instructions,
shared_weights=False, internal_weights=False).to('cuda')
W = torch.rand(batch_size, tp_e3nn.weight_numel, device='cuda', generator=gen)
Z = tp_e3nn(X, Y, W)
print(torch.norm(Z))
And here's the same tensor product using openequivariance. We require that your tensors are stored on a CUDA device for this to work:
import openequivariance as oeq
problem = oeq.TPProblem(X_ir, Y_ir, Z_ir, instructions, shared_weights=False, internal_weights=False)
tp_fast = oeq.LoopUnrollTP(problem, torch_op=True)
Z = tp_fast(X, Y, W) # Reuse X, Y, W from earlier
print(torch.norm(Z))
Our interface for oeq.TPProblem
is almost a strict superset of
o3.TensorProduct
(two key differences: we
impose internal_weights=False
and add support for multiple datatypes).
You can pass e3nn Irreps
instances directly or
use oeq.Irreps
, which is identical.
We recommend reading the e3nn documentation and API reference first, then using our kernels as drop-in replacements. We support most "uvu" and "uvw" tensor products; see this section for an up-to-date list of supported configurations.
Important: For many configurations, our kernels return results identical to e3nn up to floating point roundoff (this includes all "uvu" problems with multiplicity 1 for all irreps in the second input). For other configurations (e.g. any "uvw" connection modes), we return identical results up to a well-defined reordering of the weights relative to e3nn.
If you're executing tensor products as part of a message passing graph neural network, we offer fused kernels that save both memory and compute time:
from torch_geometric import EdgeIndex
node_ct, nonzero_ct = 3, 4
# Receiver, sender indices for message passing GNN
edge_index = EdgeIndex(
[[0, 1, 1, 2], # Receiver
[1, 0, 2, 1]], # Sender
device='cuda',
dtype=torch.long)
X = torch.rand(node_ct, X_ir.dim, device='cuda', generator=gen)
Y = torch.rand(nonzero_ct, Y_ir.dim, device='cuda', generator=gen)
W = torch.rand(nonzero_ct, problem.weight_numel, device='cuda', generator=gen)
tp_conv = oeq.LoopUnrollConv(problem, torch_op=True, deterministic=False) # Reuse problem from earlier
Z = tp_conv.forward(X, Y, W, edge_index[0], edge_index[1]) # Z has shape [node_ct, z_ir.dim]
print(torch.norm(Z))
If you can guarantee EdgeIndex
is sorted by receiver index and supply the transpose
permutation, we can provide even greater speedup (and deterministic results)
by avoiding atomics:
_, sender_perm = edge_index.sort_by("col") # Compute transpose perm
edge_index, receiver_perm = edge_index.sort_by("row") # Sort by receiver index
# Now we can use the faster deterministic algorithm
tp_conv = oeq.LoopUnrollConv(problem, torch_op=True, deterministic=True)
Z = tp_conv.forward(X, Y[receiver_perm], W[receiver_perm], edge_index[0], edge_index[1], sender_perm)
print(torch.norm(Z))
Note: you don't need Pytorch geometric to use our kernels. When
deterministic=False
, the sender
and receiver
indices can have
arbitrary order.
Right now, we only support source builds, but we provide scripts to streamline installation.
We highly recommend that you use
conda
or mamba
to set up a Python environment for installation.
The steps below assume that you're using a bash shell and have a C / C++
compiler that CMake can find. If not, you can install gxx from conda-forge
.
-
Setup: Create an environment (or activate an existing one) with our core dependencies:
conda create -c conda-forge --name my_env python=3.11 pybind11 cmake nvidia::cuda-toolkit conda activate my_env
-
Install: Build our package and install via
pip
:git clone https://github.com/vbharadwaj-bk/OpenEquivariance cd OpenEquivariance sh dev_build.sh pip install . # Use pip install -e . for an editable install
-
Test: You're ready to go!
You don't have to install NVIDIA's CUDA toolkit or CMake if they exist on your
platform, but you're responsible for setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that libraries
are findable at runtime. Installing the CUDA toolkit via conda
takes care of this for
you.
To run our benchmark suite, you'll also need the following packages:
e3nn
,cuEquivariance
cuEquivariance-torch
cuEquivariance-ops-torch-cu11
ORcuEquivariance-ops-torch-cu12
matplotlib
(to reproduce our figures)
We conducted our benchmarks on an NVIDIA A100-SXM-80GB GPU at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Your results may differ a different GPU.
We are experimenting with setup using conda-build
or
mambabuild
. Stay tuned for that
e3nn supports a variety of connection modes for CG tensor products. We support two that are commonly used in equivariant graph neural networks: "uvu" and "uvw". Our JIT compiled kernels should handle:
-
Pure "uvu" tensor products, which are most efficient when the input with higher multiplicities is the first argument. Our results are identical to e3nn when irreps in the second input have multiplicity 1, and otherwise identical up to a reordering of the input weights.
-
Pure "uvw" tensor products, which are currently more efficient when the input with higher multiplicities is the first argument. Our results are identical to e3nn up to a reordering of the input weights.
Our code includes correctness checks, but the configuration space is large. If you notice a bug, let us know in a Github issue. We'll try our best to correct it or document the problem here.
We do not (yet) support:
- Mixing different instruction types in the same tensor product.
- Instruction types besides "uvu" and "uvw".
- Non-trainable instructions: all of your instructions must have weights associated.
If you have a use case for any of the unsupported features above, let us know.
If you find this code useful, please cite us.
[Citation coming soon!]
Our codebase includes a lightweight clone of
e3nn's frontend interface (in particular, the
TensorProduct
and Irreps
classes). We removed references to Pytorch
and separated the implementation from the problem description (for future
frontend support outside of torch). Thank you to the current
developers and maintainers!
